We all have heard of ways to go green, from recycling and planting a tree, to driving a smart car or a bio-diesel fueled vehicle. Now, musicians have developed green music, which is a way for them to focus on the environment through music. Many of these musicians, and in particular, the Boston-based band Constants, perform charitable benefit concerts and drive bio-diesel tour buses. All of these things help save energy and the environment in one form or another. Recording studios, however, are major offenders in the conservation of energy.
Will Benoit, frontman of the band Constants, is changing this theory and has created the first solar powered and eco-friendly recording studio in New England. Benoit's intention is to keep the carbon footprint as low as possible. It is refreshing to know that the universe (through solar panels) is helping with the recording process of an album. Music is one of life's helpers, so by recording in a green studio, musicians can help in giving back to the earth.
Here is a video of Will Benoit explaining the studio: http://vimeo.com/9860455
